What it delivers
The Camplux CA528M-NG 150,000 BTU Natural Gas Tankless Water Heater is a non-condensing gas tankless with a 150,000 BTU/h burner and a stated maximum flow of 6.4 GPM.
Worked out from its input, it delivers roughly 5.1 GPM when the water only has to rise 45°F, and 3.3 GPM at a 70°F winter rise: 2 showers at 2 GPM in summer, 1 shower at 2 GPM in winter. Size it to your fixtures and climate.
The line must deliver about 145 cubic feet of natural gas an hour when it fires flat out. The requirement calculator adds it up; a licensed fitter confirms the pipe.
Its exhaust runs hot, so the vent must be the material its manual lists, usually stainless; budget for the vent kit.
Other listed details: connections: 3/4" npt; material: Stainless Steel; model: CA528M-NG.
The listing gives dimensions of 14.92 in (W) x 6.69 in (H) and a weight of 31.3 lb.
